I’ve taught anatomy, research literacy, and clinical approaches to manual therapy for the last 13 years.  In more recent years I’ve also developed numerous courses in embodiment practice. I enjoy working with integrative groups of students: manual therapists, movement practitioners, and various species of somatic bodynerd. I maintain a private massage therapy practice and I serve as a clinical director for a busy medical massage clinic in Seattle.    Read more about Mike Hamm, or email him at [email protected].
